Thanks, Keith S. for putting this nice visual poster college of what is out there in some perfect world where you can walk into a store and find nearly everything 🙂 He has also uploaded it to our FLIKR POOL page. Extra large size here. Here is one in check list form but nice to […]

As promised from the ‘Dreaming of Comic Con 2009‘ post, here are the rest of custom Apple CARS created and photographed by Aroldo Pongetti. Thanks! Mia & Tia will jump on every bandwagon 🙂 And of course Aroldo didn’t stop there … how about Luigi’s mom from the Storyteller’s book? And one I’m surprised Mattel […]

Dustin Mellows is not just one of the nicest CARS, it is one of the nicest diecast EVER. Not only was he a character that flies through a 2-second scene in a 90-minute movie, he’s a truck from 50 years ago – but yet, Mattel say fit to make him perfect. The sculpt and reproduction/manufacturing […]

Well, here’s your CARS shopping roundup for Week 49. I hope you found the new pallet at Walmart. You know, the one next to where the rainbow ends and it’s buy 1 get, 5 free … oh wait, that’s Power Rangers in January – jumping the gun. Should we start from best? Well, the Sears […]

The earlier appearance Boost WITH confetti matches the first chase CAR – Impound McQueen … but the later appearance in the WM pallets produced Impound Boost in blisters without confetti. The production dates are logical. “267” for Impound […]

This is NOT an exclusive. Repeat, NOT an exclusive but yes, it seems like it is. Again, like everything else that Mattel readied for this holiday season, it’s an item they have and are shipping from their warehouse. Of course, online sellers have placed, gotten and are/have shipped out to customers … the big three? […]

Original details or the promo which ends at the end of January 2009. Unlike the US which requires mailing in proof of CARS and proof of life, all you need are the promo stickers with a special code … but apparently the CARS with special promo stickers are hard to find. Imagine that. That sounds […]

With just a little over two weeks left for holiday/Christmas shopping, how complete is your CARS list being fulfilled. FIRST UP, Advice for CHRISTMAS-HOLIDAY shoppes who want these CARS BEFORE the 25th of December. Why are stacks, and stacks and stacks of CARS (and toys) unopened in gardening at WM? No logical explanation but here’s […]
